Statement: I have been privileged to serve as a judge on the
Court of Appeals since 2006. My life experience, my work as a lawyer for
27 years, and my commitment to public service have prepared me well for
this judicial position. I was born and raised in Yakima. My parents,
Maggie and Mike Kulik, taught me the value of integrity, honesty, and
hard work. I was married to the late Peter Young of Wenatchee and have
one adult son.

As Chief Judge, I worked diligently to ensure that the court ran
efficiently and was responsive to the public in spite of significant
budget cuts.

I pledge to be fair, independent and to honor the trust placed in me as
a judge. My campaign will not solicit or accept financial contributions.
I steadfastly adhere to our nation's promise of equal justice under the
law. I will continue to uphold the Constitution and to respect the rule
of law. I would appreciate your vote on August 7th.
